I was distracted picking and picked through a springs trap. I did not actually get 400,532 silvers, just a messaging issue. Log below.
>ask mer about job
Rhind says, "Ah, here we are. The client is offering a tip of 310 silvers and mentioned it being from a sea nymph (level 2). The strongbox is set up on the table for you. When you're finished, ASK me to CHECK your work."
>disarm stron
You carefully begin to examine Baelhar's strongbox for traps...
After carefully examining the lock, you move on to the hinges of the strongbox. Just as you were to pass the strongbox off as safe, you notice what appears to be the ends of springs incorporated with the hinges. Seems rather odd to have a strongbox designed to spring open when it is unlocked.
It looks like a very basic trap (-26).
You still have a good enough picture of the trap in your mind, that you could try to disarm it.
Roundtime: 10 sec.
R>get lock from my kit
You remove a diamond-edged black vaalin lockpick from in your tool kit.
>pick strong
With a casual motion, you twirl your black vaalin lockpick around your index finger, catching it between thumb and forefinger before applying it to the lock of Baelhar's strongbox...
You make a talented attempt (d100=86).
You struggle with the strongbox. As you do, you get a sense that the strongbox has a rudimentary lock (-45 thief-lingo difficulty ranking). Then...CLICK! It opens!
You jump back a little as the lid of the strongbox flies open! You close your eyes involuntarily as a tongue of liquid hurtles at your face from inside the strongbox! You feel an excruciating burning sensation on your face and neck, causing you to scream in pain!
Rhind says, "Well, that's one way to open a box. Here's your payment of 400,532 silvers."
Rhind says, "You aren't working on a job."
